Policy Press Infrastructure in Africa
Book SynopsisThis book presents a comprehensive exploration of the state of infrastructure in Africa and provides an integrated analysis of the challenges the sector faces, based on extensive fieldwork across the continent, providing an important resource for researchers, students, policymakers and NGOs.Trade Review"Connectivity in terms of physical and financial system infrastructure is indispensable in realising the full benefits of regional integration and wider development of Africa. This book provides much needed ample insight into the conundrum of infrastructure development on the African continent." Louis Kasekende (PhD.), Deputy Governor Bank of Uganda"As Africa’s population doubles in the next two decades, it is vital that infrastructure keeps up, or stays ahead. Transport, sanitation, water, electricity, communications technology and social infrastructure are all vital to ensure flourishing communities across the continent. This book spells out that the development of each is challenging but within reach.” Ngaire Woods, Dean of Blavatnik School of Government, University of Oxford"Everybody agrees that Africa has an infrastructure deficit, but there is less agreement on how it should be filled, which sectors to prioritize, at which level, and how it should be financed. This comprehensive and wide-ranging book addresses all these questions, contributing both rigor and balance to the debate." Shantayanan Devarajan, Chief Economist, Middle East and North Africa Region, World Bank“With continued interest from foreign investors and the regional appetite for PPPs, Africa is poised to ride out the oil crisis and meet its infrastructure development goals. This book addresses some of the pressing issues of African infrastructure.” Jean-Claude Bastos de Morais, Founder and Chairman of the Advisory Board, Quantum Global GroupTable of ContentsIntroduction: Infrastructure in African development ~ M.

Cornell University Press The Everyday Lives of Sovereignty
Book SynopsisAround the world, border walls and nationalisms are on the rise as people express the desire to take back sovereignty. The contributors to this collection use ethnographic research in disputed and exceptional places to study sovereignty claims from the ground up. While it might immediately seem that citizens desire a stronger state, the cases of compromised, contested, or failed sovereignty in this volume point instead to political imaginations beyond the state form. Examples from Spain to Afghanistan and from Western Sahara to Taiwan show how calls to take back control or to bring back order are best understood as longings for sovereign agency. By paying close ethnographic attention to these desires and their consequences, The Everyday Lives of Sovereignty offers a new way to understand why these yearnings have such profound political resonance in a globally interconnected world.
